astro deployment connection copy

Copy Airflow connections from one Astro Deployment to another. Airflow connections are stored in the target Deployment's metadata database and appear in the Airflow UI.

Usage

astro deployment connection copy

This command only copies Airflow connections that were configured through the Airflow UI or otherwise stored in the Airflow metadata database.

tip

This command is recommended for automated workflows. To run this command in an automated process such as a CI/CD pipeline, set the following OS-level environment connections in a way that the Astro CLI can access them:

  • ASTRONOMER_KEY_ID
  • ASTRONOMER_KEY_SECRET

After setting the connections, this command works for a Deployment without you having to manually authenticate to Astronomer. Astronomer recommends storing ASTRONOMER_KEY_SECRET as a secret before using it to programmatically update production-level Deployments.
